Hello there! Remember me? I’m the girl who gets on here and posts a recipe every five weeks or so… It’s been too long since I last posted a recipe, but I’m glad to share this one with you today.

Today, I’m breaking the promise of my blog’s name – always sweet – and bringing you a savory dish (I suppose life can’t be all sugar, huh? Or can it? Hmm…). Though not as strict as at one time, I like to keep our meals (mainly dinner) as low in carbs as possible. So this particular recipe emerged from an attempt to make this Egg & Sausage Breakfast Ring a bit healthier and lower in carbs. The filling was already quite delicious, but I did do some tweaking: I added a little spice with the chorizo, omitted the bell pepper (because you already have a lot of that!), substituted a yellow onion for the green, and added a handful of cilantro for flavor. Then, of course, to ditch the extra carbs, used bell peppers to nest the filling instead of crescent biscuits.

Of course, the original version with the bread is quite tasty and I still like to make it every now and then, but I love that the bell peppers add an extra dose of healthy and also makes this quite a filling breakfast/brunch.

Something to note is that I used a 9×13 in. pan, but am thinking that I might could have gotten away with using my 8 in. square as there was a bit too much room in the former mentioned size. I think it depends on the size of your peppers and not all mine were the biggest.

Another thing to note is that if you’re not a fan of chorizo, feel free to substitute with 1 lb of pork bulk sausage. You can also omit the cilantro, if you desire. Also, if you like extra spice (YES, please!! #spicemylife), I think adding some chopped jalapeno would just take this dish to another world. In fact, next time I make these you can bet a jalpeno party is happening…

Oh, one more note: usually I pre-roast the peppers, then fill and bake them. However, this time round I skipped the preliminary roasting and baked them the entire time with the filling inside. If you want to cut down on time, which I usually do, then I recommend you do it this way – you just might want to bake it a little longer than the 30 minutes, as my peppers were still a bit crunchy.
